didn't they get back the lakers pick?

what don't you get?

If you don't understand an analytics move, it does not mean that its not a good move.

Am I wrong in thinking Micheal Cater-Williams was a great pick for them..How do u trade him??..For more picks??.Picks are more valuable than the real deal??

MCW can't shoot at all, he ain't the real deal. The sixers will keep flipping picks and assets until they hit the jackpot.

They have put themselves in a position where they can miss on many players and still have many many more chances.

At some point the music has to stop when playing musical chairs..Michael Ray wasn't a good shooter either..PGs turning triple doubles don't grow in trees..

Also why did the Bucks trade Knight? MCW cant shoot and Knight can. I cant see how that makes them better?

Jason Kidd couldn't either but got triple doubles

Too early to say if MCW is the real deal or not. It's only his second year and Kidd obviously sees something in him. Stein is reporting that Suns offered Dragic for Knight and the Bucks rejected tgat deal, so i think the Bucks zeroed in on who they wanted. The 76ers are likely looking at Russell or Mudiay in this draft, so probably figured now is the time to flip MCW.

This^

If they are serious about McGee playing for them, they'll have enough size on their roster next year to look at Russell/Mudiay.

The fact that Kidd sees something in MCW is interesting though... maybe he works his magic on him and the guy shapes up into a good player.

MCW is an extreme talent who just can't shoot at all. For a team like the sixers who are taking the analytics route, your guards need to be able to shoot somewhat efficiently. For a team that is taking the more traditional / old school route, MCW can do a lot of good things.

it was the right move trying to get as many picks into this draft as possible because it is going to be a good one...

well ... he is the right guy to do it. A hall of fame PG who could not shoot.

Gary Payton and John Wall couldn't shoot for crap in their first few years in the league. MCW could still become respectable from three. It's too early to write off the development MCW of a guy in his second year. Philly is shaping up to be more of an interior team, especially when Embiid comes back. MCW looks like a guy who will thrive in an uptempo offense and the trade will benefit him in the long run.

I did not give up on him and neither did the sixers. They just want to do better. Could he become respectable from 3? Maybe ... Rondo couldn't ... hard to become a good shooter when you are a terrible shoot but anything is possible.

Philly is building an up tempo spread offense ... they will be shooting loads of threes and close shots.
